The Hills Series Finale (Season 6 Episode 12) 'We're All Grown Up Now' Aired on July 13 at 10pm ET / 7pm PT

Kristin, Lo, Audrina and Stephanie are together talking about how much their lives are changing and how they are in a place where they need to decide what they want. Lo admits she wants babies and she's ready to take that next step in her life, while Kristin says she just doesn't even know what she wants out of life. Stephanie says for the first of many times during the finale that things are changing and that they are never going to be the same.

Roll opening credits for the last time (tear).

The boys are playing golf and they discuss Brody and Kristin and even though Brody hasn't seen Kristin lately she can't understand why they wouldn't be friends.

Lo and Stephanie are shopping and Stephanie says that she is still dating Josh but they are not exclusive yet. She tells Lo that he wants her to go watch him at motocross, but she's not sure if that's too much of a commitment yet. Lo tells her she should go for it. She then admits that she might have to break her rules and move in with Scott as that is what she wants even though they are not engaged yet.

Stacie and Kristin have dinner and Kristin admits that she needs to get away and figure out what she wants as this whole thing with Brody is going nowhere, plus he is dating someone new. Stacie says 'but you have a lot of memories here' and Kristin says 'I think it's time to make some new memories'. 

Stephanie goes out to see Josh practice motocross and they share a sweet moment when they both admit they do not want to date anyone else. Stephanie says that he is awesome and the best guy she has ever dated and they share a sweet kiss.

Kristin goes to visit Brody at his condo and he is swimming in his pool. She invites him to her going-away party and tells him she is leaving and he gets really mad and says he doesn't want to come. She says she would like him there but he just swims away and says 'have fun at your party'. 

Next we see Stephanie with Audrina who is moving to a new gorgeous house on the beach. She says she is not going to go to Kristin's going-away party because she is packing and moving and most of all she doesn't want to see Justin. Stephanie tells her that she and Josh are now a couple right after she flirts with the local lifeguard.

Finally it's Kristin's going-away party and almost everyone is there (except Audrina and Brody). It seems as if Brody is not going to come when we finally see him walking out between the cars and Kristin looks nervous that he is there. She goes over to talk to him (after Stephanie telling her she should for closure and Lo saying she doesn't have to) and Brody tells her that he did not realize her feelings for him. She starts to cry and he tells her not to go but as they hug she doesn't say that she is not going.

Lo and Scott are hanging out at his house talking about how much they had to drink and how Lo has decided to move in. He admits he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and tells her she is perfect and that he would marry her right now. They kiss (awww).

Kristin is packing and leaving with Stacie helping her. We still don't know where she's going but she gives one final look at her house before closing the door.

Brody is outside and Kristin and Stacie say a quick goodbye and 'I love you' and Brody admits that he would not be dating anyone if he knew Kristin was going to leave town. She says she still has to go and they say a very tearful goodbye.

Kristin says she can't believe this is goodbye and we hear the title music playing in the background.

Scott and Lo are planning their future with footage of Lo from past seasons playing. Then we see Audrina changing over the course of the show and then Kristin.

The last shot is Brody on a soundstage with the background moving and we see Kristin hugging him as if she never left. This shows the contrast between what is real and what is not and clearly the producers want us to keep that in mind.

That's it, the end of The Hills - what did you think?

As an avid Hills fan who's been defending the show's authenticity since Laguna Beach, I am disgusted that the producers chose the ending that they did. Basically insulting fans for believing in the show... sort of feels like we got punked. I think it's outrageous! Obviously I knew that they would stage shoots, but to insinuate that not only are the locations, but the entire plot is completely bogus is just insulting.

I had never watched the show with the exception of the series finale, but I think something has to be said to those that feel "duped" or punk'd by MTV. In my opinion, the finale had a brilliant ending, and I'll tell you why. For some, The Hills was not only a television show but it was a 6-year investment of time tuning in every week to take in the latest drama from Speidi and the gang. The problem is when people start losing sight of the line between fiction and reality. To say that a "reality show" is real is to be gullible. Nobody's life is so interesting that they can support multiple seasons of watchable television without structure. Somewhere along the line both the fans and the cast of the show forgot that it was a Hollywood version of what their actual lives were like. The fans failed to notice the contrast between the people they saw on the show and their real life counterparts in the tabloids, and the cast failed to recognize  that they were not entitled to anything because they haven't earned their fame. Heidi and Spencer have allowed their ego and delusions of grandeur to take over - Heidi sunk $2 MILLION of her own money (and three years' time) into her pop album and it only sold 658 copies its first week (that's not a joke, look it up). Spencer has run his mouth all over Hollywood and hasn't figured out people don't care about him. People don't care about either of them, or the rest of the cast for that matter. The fans cared about their on-screen PERSONA, that lived the life all the fans wanted for themselves. And when MTV repainted the line between what's real and what's not at the end of the finale, the fans are left blaming MTV, when they were the ones that were ignorant enough to believe it.

Most  people  knew  it  would  be  scripted  ,  at  least in part . But  the  ending  was  a  slap  in  the  face  and  it  was  just  stupid  to end that way .

I do like the hills and I have watched it since it started. I have always known that a lot of the show is scrippted but the thought that is not makes the show better. The show has had a huge fan base and has a lot of sucess based on what the show precieves itself to be. I do think it was a slap in the face to fans who have always been there and supported the show and enjoy the "scrippted reality". In my opinion I would have rather gone on believing that Kristin was leaving at that it was real, even though I really know its not. I do think that the way they ended it totally shocked me and it was brilliant of the director and the editors to end the show this way. I don't know any reality show that has shown itself to be a complete fake on the very last episode ever. This will put Divello up as a creative genius. I am still disapointed in the ending though.
